Saturday Sculptures from Kew Gardens

the Queen’s Beasts

At Kew Gardens there are a series of 10 sculptures that were created by James Woodford, OBE, RA in 1958.

According to the Kew Gardens website:

Each of these ten statues represent the heraldic badges of Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ancestors. They are Portland stone replicas of the plaster models that were placed outside the Westminster Abbey annex for the Queen’s coronation in 1953.  — Read on www.kew.org/kew-gardens/visit-kew-gardens/trails/art-architecture-trail
